Om The Suicidal State

Through mapping the entwinement between the turn-of-the-century nativist discourse, "race suicide," and the frequent representation of suicide in Progressive-Era literature, The Suicidal State asks what kind of agency, subjectivity, and intimacies suicide could forge in its undoing of the selfhood. Prefiguring the twenty-first-century white nationalist discourse "replacement theory," race suicide imagined the white race's declining birthrate as a sign of its imminent extinction, sparking anti-immigrant sentiment and legislation. Suicidal figures in period literature, this book argues, symptomatically enact race suicide to short-circuit the imperatives of racial reproduction and self-preservation, instead gesturing toward new erotic relationalities and pleasures.
